Somali President Appoints Mohamed Ali Nur as New Mogadishu Port Director

Mogadishu, Somalia – The President of the Federal Republic of Somalia, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, has appointed Ambassador Mohamed Ali Nur, widely known as “Ameriko,” as the new Director of Mogadishu Port. This appointment places a seasoned diplomat with decades of experience at the helm of one of the country’s most vital economic assets.

Nur, who previously served as Somalia’s ambassador to Kenya, replaces the former director, Ahmed Washington. The presidency has tasked him with a mandate to modernize port operations and enhance international partnerships at the facility. Mogadishu Port is a critical hub for Somalia’s trade and a major source of state revenue, making its efficient management a key priority for the government’s broader state-building and economic development efforts.

The appointment has been met with optimism from business and investment stakeholders who believe Nur’s leadership will help boost commerce and development in the capital and across the nation. The move is part of the government’s ongoing push to reform and strengthen key economic institutions, ensuring they operate with greater efficiency and transparency.
